More of Manhattan


As Alicia Keys and Jay Z sing: "New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do. This streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you. Lets hear it for New York" It is an incredible city that you really  ought to see at least once if your life. 


Autumn colors in Central Park, eventhough is winter...


The place where I wish to study someday or maybe in another life... Columbia University


Empire State of Mind. It really is amazing how, by watching the movies and being impregnated with American culture, we are mesmerized by the greatness of this majestic building. 


Morningside Park on the Upper West Side and Harlem. It has great views of the city and has quite a dark edge. It kind of reminded me (at least in the middle of december) of a Tim Burton inspired park.


Old hotel at the end of Christopher street, looking at the Hudson River on the West Side. 


You can find very modern buildings in the Meatpacking District. This one is Diane Von Furstenberg's headquarters. Very geometric. Mixing glass and red bricks imprinted with the famous DVF lips by Andy Warhol. 


St John the Divine Cathedral. It is apparently one of the biggest cathedrals in the world. We just happened to pass it on our way to Central Park. It is right on Amsterdam Avenue and it's huge! 


Stonewall Inn, where the gay pride really started to kick off due to the riots caused in this establishment in the summer of 1969.


"Imagine all the people living for today... living life in peace..." John Lennon's memorial in Central Park. Next to the Strawberry Fields. 


George Segal's Gay Liberation Monument in Christopher Park


Always looking out the window. Which window? My friend's room in the West Village
